pretty good measure of where we are as a society when I am genuinely stunned that Helen Andrews actually lost her job for the most racist book review I think I've seen in 20 years

How did they even publish it though?

It’s all pretty shocking. Surprised someone would put something so racist in print. Surprised that having done so she faced any professional consequences. Weird juxtaposition, but here we are.

I'm legit shocked she faced any consequences. On the other hand, I haven't laughed so hard in a while.

She lost her job??? That’s fantastic.

Is reading that review worth the psychic damage I would expect?

I feel like there's probably at least one editor who signed off on that thing and should also lose their job. She wrote it, but other people had to have read it and not said "yikes, no, absolutely not."
